'03 TL-S... transmission acting up...

For the first time ever, my transmission slipped big time. I was on my way back from the bank, and while cruising at about 40-50 mph, I gave it some gas.

Trust me, this is not a usual transmission hiccup. This was pretty serious. One more time it happens, and she's going to the dealership.



Picked up on 1/2/03, 14,xxx miles on her.

don't wait for it to happen one more time. Go ahead and take it to the dealer as soon as you can.

Just got back in. She's driving fine now. Odd.

Oh, well. It's finals week, and I need the car to get around, so I really don't have a choice. I'm gonna keep driving until this weekend when I go home.
